Every year, I get the pleasure of taking dozens of new shooters to the range for their first shots. Most are college students. While many of them express an interest in marksmanship and competition, equipment cost keep them away from organized competition. I’m looking for ideas for setting up matches that will allow young shooters to learn basic skills that will prepare them for competition while keeping the equipment cost to a minimum. The best idea that I’ve come up with yet is a claiming class. Matches would be run in traditional formats (high power, bullseye, smallbore) but with more equipment restrictions and a claiming rule (anyone present could claim a top shooters equipment for a predetermined dollar amount). I think a line shooting modified highpower with Schmidt-Rubin’s and Mosin-Nagants would be great fun.
Any other ideas?
